GBP/JPY is under pressure and expected to trade in lower range. The pair is consolidating and broke below its 20-period and 50-period moving averages. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50 and lacks upward momentum. In addition, 142.25 is playing a key resistance role, which should limit the upside potential.
As long as this key level holds on the upside, look for a further drop towards 141.20 and even 140.90 in extension.
Alternatively, if the price moves in the opposite direction as predicted, a long position is recommended above 142.25 with the target at 142.65.
Strategy: SELL, Stop Loss: 142.25, Take Profit: 141.20.
